Life seems to be flying past in a blur of laughter, sports clubs, school activities, and family fun at the moment! And whilst it’s a lot of fun, it can also be pretty knackering. My children’s nutrition is always really high on my list, but sometimes I find it really hard to get all the right nutrients in—whether it’s because of tiredness, busy schedules, or just downright fussiness from my children.

I’m always on the lookout for ways to boost my family’s nutrition quickly and easily, so when the lovely team at Good4U got in touch to tell me about their new range of Functional Meal Toppers now being stocked at Tesco, I was instantly interested. They kindly sent me three of their products to try, and here’s how we got on.

What We Tried from the Good4U Kids Range

1. Kids Breakfast Boost – Milled Seeds and Berries
This handy little pack is perfect for adding to cereals like porridge, yoghurts, or even baked goods for an extra boost. With its mild fruity taste, it works really well with sweeter dishes like pancakes and smoothies—definitely a win in our house! It’s such an easy way to sneak in some extra fibre and goodness without any fuss.

2. Kids Everyday Boost – Milled Seeds and Grains
This is quite similar to the Breakfast Boost but swaps the berries for a mix of wholesome grains. I’ve found this one works brilliantly in savoury dishes—especially in things like homemade breadcrumbs and bread rolls. It’s also really easy to sprinkle into porridge or yoghurt when you don’t want a fruity flavour.

3. Kids Pasta Boost – Milled Seeds and Veggies
This one has been the biggest hit in our house! I’ve been adding it to family favourites like spaghetti bolognese, pasta bakes, and cottage pies. I absolutely love knowing these meals are being boosted with added nutrition, and the best part? None of us can taste it—my highly suspicious children haven’t noticed a thing!

Why I’ve Loved Using Good4U Meal Toppers

These products were created by Shelly, a mum and dietitian, who wanted to make healthy eating easier for families after becoming a parent herself—and honestly, I think she’s nailed it. I was really impressed when I checked the ingredient lists. I’ll be honest, I normally steer clear of packet products like this because they’re often packed with preservatives and ingredients I can’t even pronounce—let alone know what they do!

But the Good4U Functional Meal Toppers are completely different. Every ingredient is familiar, natural, and full of health benefits, making it so much easier to get those extra nutrients into my kids without a battle. The blends are packed with seeds, grains, berries, and veggies, and are free from artificial nasties—plus they’re fortified with natural vitamin D and iodine-rich seaweed, which are great for immunity and cognitive development.

If you’re looking for a quick, easy, and fuss-free way to make your children’s meals healthier, I’d definitely recommend giving these a try. We’ll be continuing to use them in our home for sure!
